Mass Incarceration

CCDA communities know firsthand the impacts of mass incarceration and are working to develop a strategic, sustainable advocacy platform to influence systemic change. We are actively engaging people in our association and the broader community through education, leadership development and bringing our experiences and understanding to public square.

While it is essential to look at the systemic injustices and work to ensure that there are just public policies in place at federal, state and local levels when engaging mass incarceration, people can also engage the issue with solutions beyond a legislative response.

Churches and community-based programs that work with prevention, intervention, support for families separated by incarceration, and re-entry are all essential to providing support to those impacted by this growing phenomenon. We, as faith communities, need to look for opportunities to serve those affected with support services.

Mass Incarceration Affinity Group

The Locked in Solidarity Affinity Network is an informal band of CCDA leaders & partners from cities across the United States who share a common passion for mass incarceration, and who seek company, wisdom and practical assistance in local engagement and collective, national response.

Mass Incarceration Action Events

We are committed to the long haul when it comes to ending mass incarceration.  We have several events that help raise awareness, get you connected to others passionate about the cause, and help you get in front of your legislators to fight for just laws. If you are interested in hosting an event, please contact us at [email protected] with questions.
